Sweat and grass ||Draco malfloy

The common room

I sat and stared off into the distance at what I am supposed to do now. I didn't bother to touch my food. I simply sat in my own world thinking of what my next move would be. I could lie and tell my mum I got Ravenclaw or something and explain to dumbledore he could put the Ravenclaw crest on school letters instead of the Slytherin one. I could say the hat was angry at a prank father pulled and chose Slytherin as a punishment. I could write to my mum and say that the other years were full so I had to be a slyt-.
"Well my god you are in your own world" came a rich voice nudging my shoulder.
"Ye, not anymore I ges ''. I turned to face her. She was skinny, had blonde hair and piercing green eyes.
"I'm Sarah," she said holding out her hand.
"I'm Lila smith" I took her hand and shook it
"Sarah doesn't touch the freak!" choked a voice. I turned my head to see the ugly girl from the train.
"I'm sorry did you mean yourself" I smiled
"No blood traitor I mean you"
"Blood traitor!" I exclaimed, "wow what a great new modern insult pug face get a better one than that".I scoffed and rolled my eyes
"PUG FACE! How dare you call me that? Do you have any idea who I AM!" roared the pug face girl "Draco aren't you going to defend me" she said, nudging Malfoy who was still laughing with Blaize about my comment.
"Now girls play nice" chuckled blaize. Draco didn't reply.
"No, actually I don't know who you are which means you can't be that important"
"I'M pansy Parkinson you foul evil little wich, think you run this school'll crucio you the minute you step out of this hall I promise" yelled the pug I mean pansy
"Come on pansy don't scare the new girl" scoffed blaize
"Don't worry yourself blaze it would take a lot more than that to scare me"
"Oh for christ's sake" interrupted Malfoy looking as fed up as I felt "pansy no one cares and you" he turned his face to mine "just shut up you blood traitor orphan I'm trying to enjoy my dinner!"
"I see you haven't united those panties yet Malfoy" I laughed looking eyes with him.
Ii turned back to Sarah
"Sorry about that I'm Lilia smith pureblood Not that I care"
"Well I'm  Sarah lines, also a pureblood but I couldn't care what you are. Al long as your Slytherin "
"Well, then I'm glad. Is dinner always like this" I asked
"Food-wise yes drama wise yes pansy wise yes Draco wise yes annoying yes new kid no" replied Sarah looking me in the eyes
"Well I best get used to it then"
"Why are you here- I mean we don't get new students and your British so why I mean"
"wouldn't you like to know" I laughed
"Well yes that's why I asked"
"You'll have to wait and see won't you"
"Ohhh I don't care what they say you're a Slytherin and we are going to get along quite fine" said Sarah shooting me a wink and a giggle.
"What's something I need to know to survive this school" I enquired
"Stay clear of snape and flinch. Don't mess with the purebloods I see you established who they are but seeing as you're one of us, don't give us a bad rep"
"What do you mean bad rep"
"Well the purebloods aca us" she waved her thumb around the circle "are known to be the smart ones, the cunning ones and the sort of bad ones too. Like people fear us but want to be us. Get me"
"I do but I don't know if I can," I said jerkingly I didn't like the idea of being feared
"Hey I saw you with Fred Wesley on the train today something going on there" she raised an eyebrow
"Oh Freddy no we've been friends since I was like born I guess he's like a brother"
"Oh really yyy" she raised her eyebrows further
Ye he's my best friend in the world I don't think I could ever look at him that way he's Freddie but I would like to imagine a life without Fred he's always been there for me that why we're so-" my sentence was interrupted by someones arm grabbing a hold of my shoulder a strong one to dragging me to my feet
"Come on time to go,  " said the boy. It was Malfoy. His nails dug into my skin as I stumbled to my feet.
"What the hell Malfoy!" I bellowed trying to remove my arm from his grip.
"I said it's time to go, I'm finished"
"What are you talking about let go" I spat. still trying to escape his hand. We were still standing by the table.
"Were leaving" he whispered with venom
"Why do I need to go with you!"  He simply pointed to his perfect badge and gave an evil angry smirk.
"I lost a bet I have to show you around, now move it orphen" he snapped tugging on my arm. I quickly stepped out from behind the bench. He instantly pulled my arm dragging me away from the hall. I hadn't eaten one bite. I still felt sick after being put into Slytherin, the thought of my mother's reaction still dawned on me.
"I SEE YOU AROUND" Sarah called after me.
"YEH GLADLY" I replied, still being dragged by Malfoy out of the hall. We finally reached the cold empty hallways. He still had my arm but was slowing his fast pace so I fell into a step beside him. The voices from the hall were fading until the only thing I could hear was our footsteps along the abandoned hallways.
"You can let go now I'm not going to run," I said, wiggling my arm. He loosened his tight grip so I could finally wiggled free.
"I have to show you around for the next week smith get used to it"
"Great" i replied sarcastically.
"It's so your thick brain doesn't get lost"
"You're friendly" he stopped walking and looked down at me god why was he so tall. I swallowed my dry throat. He was so intimidating like that.
"Dont think because who your family is I will treat you right because i won't" this wasn't the anger or a joke his eyes were wide like he had seen a ghost
"Is Malfoy scared of my mother" I laughed.
"No, not your mother anyway" he replied coldly, begging his trud down the hallways again.
"What is it then do I scare you for being a smith"
"You scare me" he scoffed "you dont scare me"
" well if not me or my mother then who I know you fear something
"Your father of course" he squinted his eyes as though it was obvious
"Scared of a dead man are we"
"What you don't- I mean you really don- really yy" he was confused but his smirk just grew bigger and bigger
"What are you on about Malfoy spit it out" I yelled in his face
"Nothing smith drop it"
We walked the good bit of grounds in silence. I was looking around trying to remember the way but there were so many twists and turns and corners passed every hallway the same as the last. I was very much confused and I definitely would not have made it this far without him.
We finally reached a flight of steep stairs going towards a. dungeon. I instantly noticed a drop in temperature. It was very cold at these stairs already. I stumbled down a step or two. it was quite dark. I didn't like its early nature.
"Watch it, smith, their steep" snapped Malfoy but in a new tone not angry or confused, just normal.
"Got it" I snapped not giving him the normal tone
"Here this is it," he said stopping in front of a dark painting
"Password" the man in a hat asked
"Pure-blood" whispered Malfoy "remember that or you won't get in.
"How condescending I mean pure-blood"
"Yeah I know just ember it" he snapped stopping in the common room
"And don't bring those  blood traitor wheaslbys in here got it"
"Why not!"
"One their Gryffindor Slytherins do not do well with their kind two their blood traitors and I don't wanna look at them" he ranted.
"Okay got it, anything else" he just headed on walking towards a flight of black marble stairs.
"This is your dorm guys can't get up here the stairs will turn to a slide," he said walking up the stairs two at a time I had to practically run after his long legs with my short ones. He reached a hallway taking a left and a right along rows of wooden doors
"Wait how can you get up here then," I asked
"I know you were homeschooled but you're that dumb god"
"What how"
"I'm a perfect orphan," he said, still walking along the corridors.
"I'm not an orphan!" I snapped
He came to an abrupt stop outside a door, unlike the rest. This door was not thick and didn't have old split wood. It was a bright black door. It was old but well kept and smelled of fresh paint.
"This is your dorm room because you're a pureblood you get to share with one other girl dont ask who I don't know" he paused looking through his pockets for something.
"Why is my door different"
"Because smith I told you you're a pureblood us Slytherin purebloods get private dorms we only share with one other and we have an ensuite courtesy of snape" his face and voice still cold as he pulled out a golden key and slid it into the lock.
"Now I've been told to tell you your bags have been brought up and your bed is to the left. Also, meet me in the common room at 8:14 not a second later. I will not wait, get it orphan" his voice dripping with venom.
"One I'm not an orphan Malfoy and second do you have one of these rooms"
"Am I a pureblood Slytherin? Then yes I do have one of them"
"Who do you share it with?" I asked if I wanted to be nice. I had to be with this guy for the next few days and might as well try to be nice.
"Zambini, 8:14 smith" he turned and left not slamming the door but closing it with temper still
The room was cold but I liked it. It was a comforting cold. There were two big double beds made with perfect corners tucked into each side of the dark green quilt topped with 4 big feathered pillows and loads of forest green and silver cushion. It looked like a dream. It had four bedposts and dark green curtains that could be drawn for privacy. There was a huge fireplace in between the two beds with a green flame burning the room smelled like burning wood and sweet perfume. To my side of the room there were oak dressers and in front lay my trunk. And a carpet of old worn green tapestries. There was a door to a small balcony that looked over the black lake. I knew I would spend a lot of time out there. There was also a small bookcase filled with old books. I had to admit I loved forest green. I loved the smell of the room and the view of the lake. I liked the homely cold feeling it gave. Even though it was Slytherin it was homey and I liked it. And I knew I would not have all this space in another house only Slytherin cared about pure-blood superiority. The bathroom wasn't huge but had a black marble double sink and a walk-in rain shower. And a black claw foot bath was also so perfect. Even though it was Slytherin I kept telling myself don't like it you can like this house you have to hate it, but I couldn't. I liked this very much.

I flopped on the bed engulfed in the pillows. The mattress was hard but the pillows made up for it. I let out a loud sigh and looked at my trunk knowing I needed to write my mother and unpack but I was so tired. I turned my head the other way and was faced by my green robes. I felt numb in that moment my father would be so disappointed in me. My mother will be so disappointed in me like always but this time worst. I liked the green robes better than bright yellow. I think Hufflepuff would have been worse for me anyway. I had to admit I was super excited for classes tomorrow. I had learned everything I needed to know yes but it would be different having others to compete with having friends to help. And in potions, I could brew more complicated things than healing potions or astomonionm (a very complicated potion that makes a person inflammable. She thought it was an easy brew) or I could do more in DATDA than stopping leaping frogs mid-air. My eyes fell heavy looking at my green robes but before I could drift into my peacefulness the lock on the door started to twist. I stood up from the bed immediately waiting to see who I would share my room with.

"Oh, it's you" she exclaimed as Sarah walked through the door "I thought it was some house-elf digging through my things again" she sighed flopping her skinny body onto the opposite bed. After a few seconds in quiet, she broke the silence "pesky house-elves aren't they, I don't treat them badly or anything their just annoying is all" she said propping herself up on her elbows.

"I don't mind them mine was sweet her name is bow"

"What does your mother do then?" asked Sarah. "We might as well get to know each other" she gestured around the room as if to say, roommates.
"To be perfectly honest I don't know she went to work in the ministry after my father that's all I know"
"She probably took over his old job as an Auror" smiled Sarah. She was a sweet girl and didn't push herself onto you. Lillia had to admit she was glad she was to share a dorm with her." you're not happy are you." she paused "being in Slytherin"

"Well no, I was hoping to be a Gryffindor. Just my mom won't like it at all, other than that it's not bad I mean look at this room" she said laughing a little she didn't want to be rude.

"Glad" smiled Sarah "well it's late I'll see you in the morning" waving her wand and her trunk unpacked itself as she began to put on her clothes for bed. Lila began to unpack her clothes although she didn't have a spell for it she didn't mind.

As they both finished and tucked under their cozy covers the room was pitch black not a star or moonlight in the sky. The room was dead. Lila liked that. Even if she did look out the window she couldn't see anything but black. It was peaceful, she thought.
Lila pov
"Is it always this? Dark," I asked
"No, not always if there's rain or anything no"
"Oh okay"
"Do you like the dark? I do"
"Yes I rather enjoy it" I replied
"Good you'll fit right in" Sarah giggled

"you know I get feelings about things. It's one of my specialties. I get vibes off people. I can tell your emotions by looking at you. Tell me if you are happy or sad. I can also tell your personality and your orra and even sometimes if I touch you a glimmer of your thoughts or past they call it occlumency" said Sarah breaking the silence once more

"Really that's cool I guess, what can you tell about me," I asked eagerly
"Well, I can tell you sad about something rather broken actually, no offense. I see why you were put into Slytherin even if you don't. I also sense great magic off you, your very bright witch. I also had a small vision of your future but I shan't say"

"Oh now you must tell me" I begged
"All ill say is you will find love and you'll do anything to keep that love and I mean you'll do a lot, rather sad actually. But it's not my place" Sarah said in a serious tone.
"Well did you happen to see who stole my heart," I asked
"Well yes but like I said I'm not telling"
I propped myself up onto my elbows and face into her direction I couldn't see her but I knew she could tell I had moved to face her.
"Come on who do I fall for"
"You won't expect it or believe me and I can't tell or I'll mess with time it's too risky sorry but no"
"I don't like you very much anymore" I laughed
"No you love me I can tell, we are going to be terrific friends" laughed Sarah but I knew she was right I could tell to we sort of clicked it was concreting to be around her much like when I'm with the Weasleys just happy nothing matters.
I fell asleep instantly after my conversation with Sarah was exhausted and not ready for lessons tomorrow.

"Come on Lila don't wanna be late to transfiguration McGonagall will have your head" barked Sarah. It was too early and I didn't reply. Until a pillow hit my sleepy head." come on you want to shower no" I glanced at the clock I had an hour to get ready

"Fine" I crawled out of bed racing for my wand. I waved it over the bedsheets making the bed back to its former glory. I headed straight for the shower. The water was actually warm unlike I had expected. It was refreshing to my skin. I felt calm and at ease. Lathering on my honey body wash and shampoo scrubbing my pale skin to remove the smell of train from my flesh. I got dressed and dried my hair with a spell. The uniform was heavy and dull, nothing like what I was allowed to wear at home school. But I liked it because it made me a part of a team although that team was Slytherin. I liked being a team with someone. 

I headed down towards the common room. Much to my surprise, the blonde-haired boy sat on one of the emerald sofas. He waited. I thought I'm five minutes late. I didn't think he'd wait. He sat amongst the silver cushions reading a paper.
"What you reading," I asked kneeling on the back of the sofa
"None of your business" he snapped
"House-elves" I saw the title 'free elves' why was Malfoy interested in elves
"It's nothing Smith, you're late" he replied standing up from the couch.
"Can't rush perfection" I laughed. He now walked around the other side of the couch so he towered over me and I gulped dryly. Why was this prick so tall?
"Let's go smith" he proceeded to walk out of the common room. I followed stupid Malfoy and his long legs.
